Scambaiting

Heh, I like this reverse sting on some of those dodgy Nigerian 419 con-artists. Surprising how easy it is to con a con artist — you’d think they’d recognize a sting when they see one. I guess they fall prey to the same human emotion — greed.

In spite of this scam being widely-recognized, I still seem to get 419 emails clogging up my inbox. Do people still fall for this rubbish?

I am trying to sell my car and have got 2 people already trying the dud cheque scam. Does anyone want to try a bit of scambaiting? I will forward all their emails to you if you want.

If anyone is interested, send me an email to adrian.radford1@ntlworld.com

Cheers
